Phillip Davis submitted this photo of a giant snowman made by family and friends in the Bridgesville community near Elkhart Tuesday after the Anderson County area received its second snowfall this month. The tallest man in the photo is 6 feet 2 inches tall, which makes the snowman about 10 feet tall.

More snow photos can be found on the Palestine Herald-Press Photo Gallery.

The 72nd Annual Dogwood Trails Celebration in 2010 will be held in Palestine the last two weekends in March and the first weekend in April.

The Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce has the Dogwood Trails Celebration brochure available in on its website, if you want to take a sneak-peek of the upcoming events (or click the logo to the left to download it!).

It looks like there is something for everyone during the three weekends — Dogwood Trails Parade, Palestine Community Theatre's production of "Little Women," the Old-Time Music & Dulcimer Festival, tours of historic homes, "gingerbread and coffee" at the historic Pilgrim Church, the "Gatherin' Steam Dogwood Bicycle Ride, events at the Texas State Railroad and a lot more!

You can find entry forms for several events including the parade and the bike ride on the Forms section of the Chamber website.
